Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Cor-Bon has been building reputation-backed ammunition since 1982, and this 230 grain .45 ACP +P round represents the kind of thoughtful engineering that made them known in the defensive ammunition space. You get a cartridge loaded to higher pressure than standard .45 ACP, giving you increased velocity and energy while maintaining the 230 grain bullet weight that balances momentum with reliable expansion.
What makes this load stand out is the bullet construction. The jacket is skived and serrated both inside and out, which promotes controlled expansion without being unpredictable. The soft lead cavity works with this jacket geometry to ensure the hollow point opens when it matters most. At 950 feet per second, you're getting velocity that translates into quick energy transfer, and ballistic gelatin tests show penetration in the 9 to 15 inch range. That's the kind of performance that comes from paying attention to every component.
The 230 grain weight is the traditional standard for the .45 ACP for good reason. With the higher pressure loading, you get more energy (461 foot pounds at the muzzle) while keeping recoil manageable in quality firearms. This isn't about maximizing velocity for velocity's sake. It's about delivering energy efficiently where it counts. The heavier bullet carries its momentum better and tends to expand more predictably than lighter variants.
This ammunition comes in brass cases with a boxer primer and is reloadable if that matters to your long-term planning. The packaging is straightforward: 20 rounds per box, which works well for both carrying and practice sessions. Non-corrosive, new production, and manufactured with the kind of quality control you expect from a brand that's been doing this since the early 1980s.
This ammunition is loaded to higher pressure than standard .45 ACP. You should verify your firearm is specifically rated for +P loads before using it. Many older .45 ACP firearms, including some vintage 1911s, aren't rated for the higher pressures. Check your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility.
The 230 grain is the traditional .45 ACP weight and carries more momentum than lighter bullets. With this +P loading, you get strong energy (461 foot pounds) that transfers quickly on impact. Lighter bullets like the 185 grain option will deliver higher velocity but less overall momentum. The 230 is often preferred for consistent, predictable expansion.
The internal and external serrations on the jacket score the metal in a way that promotes controlled expansion. When the hollow point hits, the scored jacket peels back uniformly, which helps prevent the bullet from fragmenting or failing to expand. Combined with the soft lead cavity, this design has a track record of reliable expansion within that 9 to 15 inch penetration window.
Yes, the brass cases are reloadable. The ammunition uses a standard boxer primer, so you can reload these cases if you have the equipment and knowledge to do so. This can help manage costs if you plan to use defensive ammunition for practice over time.
